Lothrop Uvula Retractor

The Lothrop Uvula Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 17 mm × 20 mm wide blade or 18 mm × 40 mm wide blade (Width × Length), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 17 cm ($44.00) and 25 cm ($49.00) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium surgical-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Lothrop Uvula Retractor is used in ENT surgery to hook and elevate the soft palate and uvula forward, exposing the nasopharyngeal vault and posterior pharyngeal wall.

It is indicated for adenoidectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), transoral nasopharyngeal biopsy, posterior epistaxis management, and palate cleft revisions.

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating headlights.
